Default polishing wheels

Just wandering if anyone has ever polished their wheels before? I have a set of gsr wheel (the star kind), and was wanting to polish them up a little. The thing is im not sure what kind of polish or tools would work the best for me.

to get the best result, buy one of those small pocket hand polishers, they look like a palm sander and use a rim wax found at major stores.

Clean the rim with Simpl green, wash it off, dry it off, put on wax, apply buffer and repeat to get wicked results.

wasnt quite looking for that bling bling look, just a cleaner looking wheel.


But is there a way to remove scratches and things like that from the rims, I have 99 gsr wheels with a couple of scratches here and there.
